Bible verse deemed as threat on Obama's life
WND ^ | January 03, 2011 | Drew Zahn

according to an internal-affairs investigation reported by the Bradenton Herald. Psalms 109:8 reads, "May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership." The co-worker, a sergeant who discovered the note, took offense when she learned the passage was not supportive of the president, fearing instead the prayer constituted a threat against Obama's life.

According to the investigation report, after she read the psalm, "she thought whoever left it wanted Obama dead, that the supporting verses underneath verse 8, [which were] highlighted, confirm that." The psalm goes on to read, "May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow. May his children be wandering beggars; may they be driven from their ruined homes. May a creditor seize all he has; may strangers plunder the fruits of his labor. May no one extend kindness to him or take pity on his fatherless children. May his descendants be cut off, their names blotted out from the next generation."

Neu denied that he was threatening the president, telling investigators, "In hindsight maybe it was not the smart thing to do, you know, I should have been more careful where I left it, or whatever." Neu further told investigators that he had received "the Obama prayer" joke in an email and had passed it on, admitting, "he thought it was funny, even though maybe it was not in good taste."

According to the Herald, the internal-affairs investigation uncovered a history of political attitudes and pranks around the office. Another sergeant reported Neu had said negative things about Obama during the election,

Somehow I don’t think we’d be any better off with Joe Biden as President.

Yes, we would. He would have much less power, since he was not elected to the office, and would stand almost no chance of being elected in 2012.

Also, the entire election might be null and void .....

I don’t want to see 0bama assassinated. That would make him a martyr. Then every town and city in the country would have an intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Barack Hussein Obama Avenue.

He should NEVER be elevated to the level of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I don't pray the 109th Psalm. I pray the 58th and 59th Psalms. It speaks of breaking the teeth--taking away the power--of the leadership. How the Lord does that is His prerogative. None of that is up to me.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16,17

A kinder, gentler Psalm: "The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked." Psalm 58:10.
